Iran Will Slash Oil Production Iranian ATHENS, Greece (UPI) Prime Minister Mir Hossein Musavi announced Sunday that Iran will cut its oil production by 50 percent until further notice, the official Iranian news agency reported. Musavi, who made the announcement in Tehran after a Cabinet session at which President Sayed Ali Khamenei was also present, said the decision had been taken "in an effort to thwart plots aimed at weakening oil exporting countries, said the Iranian news agency IRNA, monitored in Athens. He asked other oil producers to join Iran and take similar measures.

The action left the militants, led by hard-lin- e student groups, in effective control of the complex to the exclusion of supporters of the Akali Dal party of Punjab Chief Minister Surjit Singh Barnala. The militants rejected the Punjab peace pact between the Akali Dal and Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Sundays action grew from a dispute with moderates over the reconstruction of a temple building in the bitter, continuing aftertaste of the armys assault on the temple in June 1984 to flush out extremists.

The transfer of the city, currently the joint Punjab-Haryan- a capital, was a key element of the peace accord signed in July and was planned for Sunday. It was postponed when a commission failed to agree on the transfer of 83 Punjabi villages to Haryana as compensation. y top-lev- - NEW DELHI, India (AP) Pope John Paul II, making the first official papal trip next weekend to the Hindu homeland of Mahatma Gandhi, visits a nation divided by piety, poverty and bitter sectarian conflicts.

The ceremony, to honor two Hindu deities, Lord Subramaniam and Lord Muruga, was part of Thaipusam Day a special day of penance celebrated by Hindus for centuries. About half million relatives and others gathered at the Batu Caves, on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, to watch the altar bearers. About a mile from the temple cave, the devotees bathe and are then put in a trance before priests deftly insert various sized hooks, skewers and spears through the skin on their chests, backs, arms, tongues, lips, cheeks or necks.
